If you wanna save some money, you can buy some piping for JCW, cut it with a hack saw, tape it in place, and then take it to a welder to finish up.

I've been looking on JCW's website and can't find a link to IC piping, maybe i'm not looking hard enough or something. Can somebody send a link to me?

Get a few 180 bends and a few straights and you should be fine.... an investment that i really dont regret is purchasing a cheap *** mig welder from harbour freight for 250 bucks, i welded my exhaust, intercooler piping, and dumptube as well as many other peoples **** with it, its more than payed for itself. The welds dont look that great but hey im getting better function over fashion right!

How do most people go about figuring which pipes to buy? Do they mount the manifold and turbo, mount the intercooler then figure out what they need? I just want it to look professional when it's all done. Or does somebody have an easier suggestion on how to go about purchasing piping?

i did and its really annoying if u only have a hack saw

M.A.R.C.

i used 2 jc whitney ubends, and two 90 degree bends, an angle grinder with a cut off wheel and some patience...

beepy

A hacksaw, some 180° bends, and a cheap welder from Ebay....





(The grey pipe is not done, need the BOV flange to arrive)

Get your bends from Mike and weld them yourself.

My hands had blisters on them from the Hack Saw. Charge pipes were pretty easy to fit up, but the downpipe and exhaust were a bitch to fab up. I was laying under the car, holding piping up/together, and trying to mark it, so that I could take it to school to weld. If youre doing charge pipes, it shouldnt be too hard. When you buy your piping, be careful, for example some u bends have a smaller radius than others and some are longer than others.

read this link. I know its kinda basic knowledge for someone who knows about turbo already but they do a good write up on the piping and what pipes you need to buy.

2.5" /90 /9" /9" /18" /3.75" /JC Whitney /$34.99 /SE476169B

I figured out the legth of straght pipe needed, as well as a number of bends required, and ordered accordingly. I made my whole charge pipe and downpipe with 2 HOK-12597 and 2 HOK-12270...hope that helps!

I used this also, but it requires a little more thought on the charge pipe.

Took me 4 U bends to do my integra. -
